About Teun
Place of birth: Brussels, Belgium |
Teun's personalityTeun is quite an outgoing person, but he keeps his secrets close to the chest. He easily makes friends and always tries to be helpful to people when they ask him for help, but he doesn't like people trying to use him. Apart from that, Teun cares about the children he has in his custody and his youngest, as well as his grandchildren, most of all. They are the thing that keeps him standing together with his wife Rosa.
Teun's backgroundTeun was born in year 33 to Ilse Vangenechten and Thomas van Loon (NPC). He was born in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. His parents raised him, having hopes of turning him into a decent boy, which he was during most of his childhood. Teun was a vivid collector of It’s Pop, as was his father too. During those years, Teun spent much time studying, trying to score good grades.

At the age of ten, Teun fell in love for the first time. It was when they were close to the Dutch border. To Teun, this was an amazing new experience, even when he felt a little shy at first. But he overcame this original shyness and eventually asked the girl, called Amber, for her address.
A few years later, Teun became more of a rebel. He didn’t want to pursue his parents’ ideas about his future any longer. Ever since he was ten, he had been interested in music, but at the age of fourteen, he wanted to learn how to play an instrument for himself. When he finally convinced his parents to let him pursue his dream, he boarded a plane to Amsterdam.
There he joined some bands, and he met Amber again. He and Amber fell in love and got married, this relantionship leading to the birth of a son, Niels. After being married to Amber, he also married a girl he met at college, called Femke. With her, Teun had some more kids, but most of them don’t know him anymore.
Later in his life, Teun learned about a sister, called Floor. Teun and her are close to each other, and Teun is the godfather of her eldest daughter Elena.
Teun’s first two marriages failed as he became interested in a younger girl named Bryana. He and her got together, causing many problems. In retrospect, this was a bad idea, but back then it felt good. With her, he got more children, one of them is still with him whenever she can.
Out of his first three marriages Teun has seven children, 3 boys and 4 girls. Of these he still sees a few, while others are almost removed from his life. His firstborn Niels and his wife also expanded his family by two, having a daughter and a son, Emilia and Angelo. Teun is also the godfather to Rosa’s son Elias.
Teun has some close friends, which he trusts and cares about, and the best way of becoming his friend is by being nice to him.
In year 76, Teun and his best friend Rosa got married. Somewhere along the way they fell in love with each other and they conceived. They are the proud parents of a little miracle called Aubrey, who is an important part in the life of her parents. The couple got married at their home, and now try to live their life together, like the little family they are.
Most recently, Teun has decided to become a foster parent together with his wife. As needy children take a special place in his heart, he wants to change the life of some of these children for the best. Rosa and he took care of quite a few foster children, but the most significant ones were a newborn boy they called Johnny, a five-year old girl called Jaya and most recently a six-year old girl called Zahara. All of their cases were successfully ended, and they try to stay in touch with their foster children as much as possible, even though the contact with Zahara's aunt is currently limited.
After Zahara left, Teun and Rosa took in two rather troubled teens, Rhys and Kenna. While taking care of them was a story with ups and downs, in the end the two consider them another success. Kenna is as good as a daughter to them, and they officially adopted Rhys. During the stay of these children, Teun's youngest child fell down the stairs and went through a period of time in which she suffered from amnesia.
Once Aubrey turned sixteen, Teun and Rosa took more time to themselves. While Aubrey still lived with them -as did Rhys, for some more years- Teun and Rosa gave her more independence. They went on to travel the world in their spare time, yet still often returning to London. Whenever they are in London nowadays, they can be found hosting their extended family. They spend a lot of time watching their numerous grandchildren, or hosting dinner parties for all of their family members who live in London. Teun also spends some time volunteering for several charities, as well as donating blood every other month.
